I don't plan to buy one on Day One, but I might buy within a year from launch if the lineup improves.

Now that I have $50 down on it, I kinda have to get it day one.

Although because The Old Republic doesn't run on my Computer (no thanks to a teller that said if I could run WoW I could run this game.....) It might be tough for me to gather up the dough.

This. I already have a 3DS, so I'm waiting, if I even get it at all.

I'm going to wait and see if Sony drops the price some, and supports it better than they did the PSP. When I had a PSP you could hardly find games for it. It's gotten a little better now, but for the longest time if you could find more than 5 games at most retailers you were pretty lucky.

Hell yeah I am. I have my PSP and game on Ebay as we speak!! The lineup for the Vita is awesome and with over 100 titles already in development it is going to be sweet. Getting trophies on my handheld is where it is at!!

:o what happened? I'm definitely not buying one day one, as tempting as Blazblue Portable HD is. I'll wait until December for a price drop and used memory cards.

As much as I would like to, the thing is launching uncomfortably close to mid-semester exams, so I may have to give it a temporary pass.

When I buy either a Vita or a 3DS is will all come down to which one is cheaper Which will probably be the 3DS.

Vita has a huge chance of dying at retail and not being supported.

Why would anyone risk $300 on inferior console ports?

Kneegrow, please.

The only game I want to play is Gravity Rush. Hopefully, it will get ported to the PS3 in the near future.

I'll buy a Vita when there's a price drop, and when someone gets a Dreamcast emulator running on it. And that won't be anytime soon or possibly never.....

Yes, in that case, I'll grab it cheap if/when it is ever discontinued.

What do you mean by fail? Do you mean stop working, discontinued, or not sale as well as the 3DS?

Yes, I already paid off the wi-fi version and now deciding to see what games to pick up. Decisions, decisions. I've played the 3DS and it's a great handheld for what it is, but it just doesn't interest me and the 3D hurts my eyes a little. I'll just stick with the Vita since it has games that appeal to me more.

I disagree. Something awesome about part of a community early on with any new release (game or system) because the people that get it are enthusiasts. Sure you might save some money by waiting, but probably not going to save that much money waiting, so you have to decide for yourself if it's worth it.

Not to worry zarshack, Escape Plan is available on launch day as it is available on PSN as a digital download.

i did with 3DS and im doing it with vita too. Honestly i hardly think i will regret it either....on launch day alone there are more good games to buy than i have money for. So im settling with Uncharted, Escape Plan, Gravity Rush, and Wipeout. That should hold me off till LBP, Resistance, and hopefully Call fo Duty come later this year. Im not normally a COD gamer but i cant pass up a portable, console like shooter like that

you say not ANYMORE. So you once did then, according to your grammar. Well the vita lineup that got everyone excited last summer hasnt lost any games, vita stil has over 100 games in development right now and 150 devs dedicated to vita working on vita projects. None of that has changed, all thats changed is memory card prices haha

To be fair option 2 and 4 are the same thing, its not asking IF you're going to buy one, its asking IF you're going to buy one on launch day

Seeing as how money isn't that big of a problem for me, yea. Getting tired of these apps for phones. They were great at first and there are still a few here and there that stand out, but I am ready for an upgrade.

Is that 100 games in development supposed to be impressive? All platforms can say that. Perhaps he just doesn't like the looks of the lineup as is, that isn't weird. Just his opinion.

Why on earth if you're not normally into console COD games on consoles would a "console" like COD on a portable be any different?

has nothing to do with money(except sony consoles are always ridiculously over priced) but more to do with every new release(phone, console, pretty much any electronic) is going to have bugs and crap wrong with it or they'll eventually release a bad ass looking special edition version with a game. im so glad i waited on the 3ds, not only did i save money but i got a sexy looking zelda 3ds :P same for my original halo 3 green xbox 360 and new halo reach 360 slim. plus launch games usually suck because devs are still trying to learn the hardware.

Maybe, like me, he was about to buy the system not because its currently announced games excited him, but because he was excited about its potential, and like me, he now fears for the future viability of the system.
